I have suspicions about this issue (just suspicions). Probably Steam agreement for game developers is changed some time ago in order to prevent publishing games in both of Steam and Steam-like services (like Desura). So when developers have choice between Steam and Desura they in fact choice Steam.

This is not true. Take OilRush for example, which can be found on both Steam and Desura (and even the USC).
One cause that was speculated some time ago is that there is some tension because the Desura guys themselves are doing
a direct rip-off (Indie Royale), although I think this is also not true.

The most likely cause for all this I think is that most developers simply never heard of Desura.
Neither making sure all the games are on Desura nor coercing the developers to put their games there is
a responsibility of Wolfire, it's simply: If the games are already there, maybe include codes. Else, don't.
The fact is that most games today (especially Indies) are on Steam, so it's a no-brainer that Steam codes
are included with the bundle.
